"I wrote the songs on the Muses' last tour. I would bring my
acoustic guitar back to the hotel room every night. It's kind of a globe trotting record, it starts in Scotland, I think,
and ends up somewhere around probably New Zealand or Hawaii or something, and took the songs back home and recorded them in
the horse stable down the road, I didn't think they would be released as a record or anything. But the people who had copies
somehow let them fall into the hands of record company executives who wanted to release them. I said said no, because they're
mine, but I did make a record about them. I did it in the same stable I did the demo in because the atmosphere had to remain
special and intimate, but it felt less like someone stealing my diaries and publishing them."
